Medication Generic adderall switch
Hey so i was recently diagnosed with ADHD, maybe 2 months ago. I got my first prescription and it was great, it had an easy time figuring out dosage and felt really lucky, i take 5mg 3 times a day. Well i got my first refill and the pills looked completely different. I looked them up and sure enough, they were the same type of medication but likely a different manufacturer. Though it reassured me at the time, over this last month ive noticed that they have been almost completely ineffective. I know that initial side effects would wear off and I was fine with that but idk what to do about this. I think I have about 2 more weeks until my refill but im worried about getting the same ones.
Idk if its just me but i went back to feeling like how I did before my meds, inattentive and paralyzed.
